Chapter 4 - The Arrest on the Lawn
The paramedic placed an oxygen mask over little Oliver’s face while checking his thready pulse. "Severe concussion and head trauma! We need to transport him immediately!"
As they lifted Oliver onto the gurney, the lead police officer, Officer Miller, stepped between Harold and the red cooler. His eyes darted down to the floor, noticing the heavy leather belt with its heavy brass buckle lying near a pool of blood.
"Sir, put down the cooler and step away," Officer Miller ordered, his hand resting on his holster.
"This is my house! You have no right to touch my personal items!" Harold shouted, his face flushing crimson as he tried to push past the officer.
"He hit my son!" Evelyn screamed, her blue t-shirt soaked with blood as she pointed at Harold. "He swung that belt at a three-year-old baby!"
The second officer stepped behind Harold, twisting his arms behind his back and snapping steel handcuffs onto his wrists.
"Harold Vance, you are under arrest for felony child abuse and aggravated assault," the officer declared.
Margaret began to wail frantically, grabbing the officer’s sleeve. "You can't arrest him! He's a respected judge! Do you know who he is?!"
